Vehicles in Germany's Town Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm

Incident location Affected vehicle Local Law Enforcement
Police stated they were contacted by a individual who found a automobile in Hanau smeared with reddish fluid

Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.

Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.

Police report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.

The substance had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they added.

Law enforcement then found numerous other marked cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.

Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.

Law enforcement report initial examinations suggest the fluid was probably human blood.

"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; officials are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they stated.

Local authorities stated they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the community for details.

An important official said the incident left him without words and required to be resolved rapidly.

"This event affects the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, referring to the murder of nine people by a gunman aiming at individuals of migrant background in 2020.
